[From the Philade!phia Press, July 14.] Yesterday's New York Henry has a long letter from its commissioner in this city describing the focal haunts of vice and poverty. The letter is well written and tells truthfully, with only slight orna- mentation by the reporter, the awiul life of Alaska and adjoining streets. The story is a trite one, however, to Philadelphia readers, and the writer does injustice to our journals in saying that they have negiected the quarter in question. They have repeatedly described the place and appealed to the authorities to suppress it, and if their efforts and those of Mayor S®kiey had been properly supported by Counctis ana the Board of Health, this eyesore and plague spot would not ‘ow be in existence.

THE WARD-BIGLIN MATCH. SPRINGFIELD, Mass., July 14, 1873. Columbta will bardly show among the first four crews which pass the Grand Stand at the finish next Thursday afternoon. While they deny that old Hank Ward has been exacting so much work from them as was publicly reported—some twelve miles of walking and so many of rowing being the amount credited them—I still think they would have done better had he worked them less, They will be one of the lighter crews at best, and at this time of year, and with the sort of water vo drink which this neighborhood affords, it is much easier to keep thin than fat. One of their men is a townsman of mine whom I have known for some time, and I am confident that he, at any rate, is too fine, and would do more hard work on the home mile in the race if he hada little more beef on him, Then, again, it is not too much to say that their rowing is poor, They looked cramped when at work. There are too many round backs; too many men do not reach out far enough to take thelr stroke, and few of them when farthest out take right hold of the water, their oars seeming rather to hesitate. But that which strikes the observer most is that their boat does not appear to travel fast. It is but fair to say that I have seen them row but once, and that only for a short distance, and perhaps at that time they were not doing themselves justice. But agood oar should never be caught rowing poorly, but, whether going slowly or fast, should always row well. And as these men are not among the oldest, not among the strongest, and are among tne least experienced here in actual racing, they certainly will deserve very great praise if they push their prow in among the oremost on the eventful evening now s0 close athand, But if nothing happens to THE AMHERST AGRICULTURALS they will tell a different story of themselves on this same July evening. There are so many crews here, and as they, while in practice, wear no uni- form or distinguishing marks, it is no easy work when they are passing you, perhaps at the farther side of the river, to be sure which is which. Bat whoever has seen the “Aggies” at work once will have little dificalty, and for the reason that their stroke does his work not only so well, but so much better than any one else in the boat. Any observ- ing man must have oiten remarked during his life- time. whether in the workshop, on the field of bat- tle or of grain (and a Brooklyn man might add in the pulpit), that some of the best and toughest men physically he has ever seen have been but five fect eight, or, at most, five feet nine inches in height, and often even less. That anctent mariner, Hank Ward, already referred to, and who taught England’s best pro- fessionals such a@ lesson two years ago on Saratoga Lake that they never came back to try again, is such ® one. And such another is Frederick 0. Eldred, who is setting the Agricultural crew their stroke to-day. Heisno new hand at the work, for whoever remembers Ingleside two years ago will recall who led the van on the homestretch and astonished all New England by making proud Har- vard register her name alter that of this till then unneard of institution, while his record in the Argonauta Club, of Bergen Point, will at least do him no harm. He has the advantage, so com- mon among short men, that his muscies show well allover his back and shoulders as wellasin the arms that he is unusually well developed, while his legs, and particularly his calves and ankles, are strikingly large and strong. I/that worthy who has so long upheld that ancient clock at Tiffany's former stand on Broadway should ever get tired and be looking about for a man to get up and take his place Mr. Eldred looks equal to it. Indeed, there is @ striking resemblance in shape { stretcher ont of the boat. ter does over the first, Ithink one of thom would win, There is morg dash, more spring, more mas- terly grip of the ‘Water the moment the oar gets hold, and 4 Getter throwing of the weight ou the oar just then than any other men here show.

One week ‘ago yesterday they rowed the same as any other day, but it kicked up such 8 rumpus among the sanctimonious hypd- crites of some of the other crews, and such a feel- ing of “ghtgoug indiguation pmong the morale of this New England gown, that their trainer, Coulter, from policy, not frow choice, kept them in yester- day, It was a hard yo for the crew, however; the toughest restriction, some of them said, they had had since they went into training. Why, it was worse than leaving off pastry, and cigars, and liquors, and ali that gort o thing. Indeed, some of them could not be kept off cd the water aud were to be seen skipping around he%# and there in skids or whatever they could get holdtef tn the shape of water craft. After all it is réegliy & queson whether it is not MORE PREJUDICE THAN PIETY of '68 Fbelieve in good, old-fashioned, right down American, Englisn or any other beef. George Morri- son, Who coached Oxford to her greatest victory, once wrote to the Oxford captain, when getting up his crew, ‘Take a good big man as early as you can, and lick him into shape,” If Bowdoin has lickea her's into shape, look out. If Dartmouth haa, look out, Ido not say they have, fori donotknow. But I do know that Harvard has come so near the shape that her graduates and friends had better, if they can get away for a day, come up. For noman who has done his best will ever come to disgrace,- and itfcrops out all over these fine fellows that here, at least, has been the PREPARATION NECESSARY TO GREAT ACHIRVEMENT. Like the heroine of the contribution box, they have done what they could. Far out upon the Atlantic, midway, perhaps, to Europe, there sails a man to-day, net tall, but of rather sturdy make, whose hair must by this time—for I have not seen him in ycars—show many streaks of sliver. I heard Charles Dickens once, at a feast in Syden- ham Palace, say that “Two Years Before the Mast” was the best sea book ever written, Its author little thought, when thousands of miles {rom home, high upon the northwest coast, a young man, hardly yet out of the university, who was wearing the hair off the top of his weil-turned head carrying the foul-smelling hides, and trying to recruit his thoughts, and especially hia failing vision, he would one day have a son, who, coming up toyears of manhood, would bear the same fine, resolute face over here to this broad river, and he captain among the chosen men of that same uni- versity. THE FIRST OAR IN HARVARD'S CREW to-day is Richard H. Dana, Jr. His arms are not quite so long as Loring’s, of 1869; but his back Is straighter and the swing forward and aft looks cleaner on that account. He is a very lithe, sinewy man aud may surprise many of us most pleasantly in the hour of trial. THE SINGLE SCULI RACE. The positions of the crews im the great race will probably be drawn on Thursday morning. At & meeting this afternoon five o'clock on Wednesday was set for the Single scull race, to be two-mile straight- away. Several men from the crews are promised. Three o'clock on Thursday is set for the Freshman race; four for the University, the captains to choose the judges. It was voted to meet at eleven on Wednesday, R. H. Dana, Jr., of Harvard, re- signed the Presidency of the Rowing Association on account of lack of time to attend to its duties. G. M. Spier, of Columbia, was chosen in his place. The topic much discussed to-night is the Ward- Biglin match, which, by the articles of agreement, is to be called between two and three to-morrow. afternoon. ELLIS WARD, the youngest among the famous brothers, whose rowing has given us all so much reason to be proud, is twenty-five years old, five fect nino and three-quarter inches high, and expects to row Meighing 149 pounds stripped, two pounds heavier than when he pulled bow in the great race at Saratoga Lake on the Lith or September, 1871. In the arms he is slim; not especially broad in the shoulder or deep in the chest; noticeably thin in the flank and very strong in the legs for bis weight. Agile as a cat, he has the hang of throwing his whole weight against this stretcher till you ex- pect him to lift himself off his seat and Kick his Thin-faced, strongly marked from some attack of smallpox, his eye is as bright and keen almost as that of the thinnest of the thin who stood up for us at Geneva, If good management and eternal vigilance will win he Tmust hope strongly on the morrow. But if he was not Ellis Ward, but only some rower without a name, I think all weuld agree that five miles are too great a distance for him to row hard, HE 18 NOT STURDY ENOUGH and he looks too fine. Some day these profes- and general appearance between the legs of the two, But as remarked, he is better than his crew, notin build alone, but in the main thing, work. The man next him, as well as he next bow, is no. ticeably weaker, and when he reaches out for his stroke noother seems to reach as far, the second man from him doing apparently next best. When Iremarked this to Josh Ward, “Yes,” said he, “HE’LL BE STROKE NEXT YEAR.” Simpson, the bow, fs too easy on his back, pulling his body noticeably over on to the oar at the end of the stroke—technically “meetng’—rather than the oar upto his body. When his back gets stronger or his determination to use it more he willrow harder. But the thin- faced, hardy fellow there in the stern keeps setting them the work with such untiring steadiness that the crew do better than they seem equal to, and getastrong pace on their boat and keep it. I drove along the bank by them from the start until, when the bushes hid them, they were already weil into the third mile, and they were staying well, stroke working hard as ever and saying nothing, bow working less and talking more. The far reach forward 1s very tiring, and two and five have not 80 much to settle whether, far on in the third mile, they will be shorter torward—and aft too, for that matter—tnan stroke, as whether the men in the other boats shall be doing better, I do not think that ifeach crew did its best that afternoon the Aggies will win, but I do think that they will be in the first four. Eldred told me that the average weight in the race, would be but 153, There are stronger men here, larger and older, who, if they rowed as well, would beat them. From but a moments glance at THE MAINE MEN PROM BOWDOIN they are such; but Isaw them just coming round @ point and in to their float, and they were not rowing well. Price, their traimer, is the bow of the famous Paris four of St, John, New Brunswick, who, in the Expesition races on the Seine, before Paris, in 1867, in @& boat heavy and unwieldy, beat the London rowing four and @ team from Oxford, in which were Willow and Tinne, whom some of us remem- ber. But, after all, this was not doing such a great thing, for their rivals each carried a coxswain, while they had none. Then, again, they beat the Wards badly on thts same Connecticut, but they had manifestly @ far faster boat. Then, again, later—and really @ fine thing to do—his crew were leading Renforth’s world-renowned men when, before they were a mile up, that king of English rowing for all time now past offered up nis life to his master passion by the banks of the Kennebecasis. Of course I can tell you better in a day or two, but I think the Bowdoin fellows row the “Paris stroke, and indeed I was struck with the resemblance in bufid of more than one of them to that of Hutton of that crew—namely, very strong all over the back, and especially so just at the shoulder blades, while no crew here has more thick, well-made arms, The peculiarity of this stroke is its shortnoss, they neither reach- ing far forward at the beginning nor falling far back at the end, but taking & strong grip through the middie and swing their bodies through a, shorter arc that any other crew on this watep, But, as I say, | must see them again, But HOW ABOUT HARVARD? Wel, they do the best rowing I have seer this year, If Dartmouth or Bowdoin could rowAas Mar- vard rows and stay over the tures mileges the lat sionals, whose last chance for training collegians seems to be this year, will learn to drop their foolish Setore-breakfast work, take less through- out the day, eat a sensible amount of vegetables and drink enough water to keep their blood cool, and then will come up to the score and bring their men up, as John Biglin will come to-morrow with a little beef on them to stand the tremendous work of the homastretch of @ race two whole miles longer than the students will find enough for themselves on Thursday afternoon. Then, again, these sliding seats have made an entire revolution in rowing, less forward straining fora reach being needed and the legs having double duty. Strongas Ward ts for the work, I think JOHN BIGLIN is stronger, and, if nothing untoward happens on the morrow, ought to be the winner. He, too, is of arowing family, which for more than ten long years has kept itself renowned among American oarsmen. Of exactly his rival’s height, his face and frame were cast in a far different mould, There is nothing nervons in that broad face, with its strong check bones, resolute jow] and abundant back. Four years the elder, he will row at 162 pounds, he told me, “Nine pounds more than he wéighed at Saratoga.” He has not the uhusually large frame of Josh Ward, but is more muscular and has the largest fore arms, and unquestionably the strongest legs of any rowing man here now, and, indeed, I think in America. Were he #3 ambitious as his antagonist, I think the next time Joseph Sadler, England’s cham- pion sculler, visits us, Bigiin may escort him over all the course, instead of only part: As some reflections have been made relative to his conduct in not training Amherst, but preferring Dartmouth, it ts no more than fair te a man whose name has stood clean and well before the public for many years to hear his own version of the mat- ter, He tells me that he NEVER BARGAINED TO TRAIN AMHERST this year, and that no man can show any proof of such a contract, oral or written; that he did regu- larly agree with Dartmouth to look alter her men, and is living up to that agreement faithfully, as he should. Ihave known him many years, and always found him, as I think he ts to-day, a man honest and straigtttforward. As to to-morrow’s time, When Sadler beat both Bigler and Ward, he took thirty minutes eighteen and a halt seconds to do four miles, so that tf five are done In thirty-eight or better to-morrow there will be fast rowing. WHEN TO LEAVE NEW YORK. He who reads his morning paper early can, if he likes, leave New York by the 6:05 train to-morrow, and be bere in time to see this very interesting struggte. Let him bring a duster, a marine glass and a bottle of Jamaica ginger. WILLIAM BLAIKIE, The Course and the Crews Criticized Splendid Condition of the Columbia Boys—A Mean Trick—Telograph Facui- tics. SPRINGFIFLD, Mass, July 1%, 1873, ‘The spirit of the Puritan fathers, aide by rude * Boreas, triumphed over the dictum of che trainers or the desires of the boys, and the river yesterday was ag free from any signs Of worg on the part of the college boys as the most frict Sabbatarian could desire, Save here and ¢here a pleasure or sailboat, or, perchance, a gro'“p taking a swim from some eid flat-bottomed pumt, the river was free from boats of all Kityis. Rven wicked Quynell, whieh keeps these crews off the water on Sunday, and I doubt net whether there is not more religion afterall in theCorneli boat thanina majority of the others, The rest take thelr walking exer- ¢ise just the same, and instead of the public row, spend tbe day in fixing their oars, varnishing their boat or lounging around under the trees, certainly not engaging in what is considered religious ex- ercises. The river to-day has been very rough again, a south wind rolling the white caps up in a way that reminded one of asquail on the Atlantic Ocean, and sadly interferring with the practice of the crews. Indeed, itis doubtful whether the boys, judging from the state of the water the past few days, will be accommodated with sili water long enough at any one time to enable them to get even one race in before it roughs up again. This seems tor be THE PRIME OBJECTION TO THIS COURSE here at Springtield, otherwise a very good one, that it is so liable to be rough. It lays almost dtrectly north aod south, and as the prevailing winds here duriug the Summer months from nine o'clock in the morning until sundown come from the south, blowing directiy against the current, it is almost impossible to get a decent row until after the sun goes down in the afternoon, when the wind generally dies away and the water becomes smooth, Old boatmen along river, however, tell me—though, of course, they have got money in their eye which affects the correctness of their vision—that the prevaience of the suuth winds here this year is something unusual; that they usually begin to biow in March, continue till the last of May, and are then supplemented by west winds until August, when the south winds: begin again. it is very reasonable to suppose a west wind would be kept from roughing up the river by the high binf3 on that shore, but the theory has had no practical illustration here yet this Summer, and usitove are naturally beginning to think it never will, CONDITION OF THE CREWS. Nearly all the crews are to-day in good condi- tion, though innumerable stories, have been set afloat by the trainers and betting men about the weakness or siocness of this or that one, In order to give such crews a false position in tle “pools.’” ‘They succeed in deceiving the country people tn that way, and gouge them ont of their surplus cash; bat our habitual better, or well-informed boas nows better and takes no stock in su mors, The Dartmouth giants have thus been cried down; but tuose who saw their brash with the Aggies Saturday are satisfed they will be some ways in front of the tail end; and it is noticeabie that while Biglin rarely offers to bet on them against ihe rest, yet, as last year, he ts quietly scvoping. in all the field tickets and third and dfth place tickets on his crew which lie can get hold of On Saturday Josh gave it o that one of his crew —ihe with on attack of the bat did not prevent his gettng into the boat this morning and wagging his oar to the tune of forty strokes per minute. Josh and the Aggies seem very desirous, like soine others, of being thought of no account; but, barring accidents, the persons | who place them far down in the list of chances will lose their money. THE HARVARD MEN are taking a rest to-day, not on account of sick- neas, but in aecordance With their new system of training, they Claiming that they have worked un- usually hard during the past ten weeks and need & Utile recuperation. As Dana expresses it, the crew don’t put their dependence on their muscle or age, but upon the superior style of their rowing. Whether the advantages of this 1act, which is con- ceded by all, will be suficient to offset the supertor muscle of some of their rivals, who, somehow or other, in spite of their awkwardness, manage to get their boats along very rapidly, i8 a question which seriously troubies some of Harvard's best friends and most enthusiastic advocates, tf it does not influence the meinbers of the crew themselves. THE COLUMBIA BOYS received @ magnificent set of new oars direct from Donaghue last night, and were out early tuis morning trying and getting uscd to them. There was @ still more marked improvement in their style of rowing, and thelr boat, which is the-best one on the river, shot ahead with a rapidity which caused @ noticeable expression of auxiety to over- spread the countenances of some of their rivals who were standing on the bank and saw them start off. This crew has already risen in the estimation of the critica, until, from the next to the lust post- | tion, they are now frequently placed in the third and fourth positions, and the hint 1s thrown out occasionally that the crew that seat themselves know the Work they have gotto do. They certainly put more speed into their boat, considering their youthfuiness and light weight, than apy other crew ere, and their friends need havo no fear but that they will do themselves, their college and their ex- cellent trainer, Hank Ward, credit. COULTER REDUCES MIMSELP. Coulter has discarded his English-made sculls and received a set this morning irom Johnson, of Boston, and which. he wili use in bis coming race with Scharf, on the 2d of August. Coulter does not seem to be in the condition which he ought to be, and is taking a (els method of fixing hitself. Instead of rowing his surplus flesh of, of which he | has a goodly amount, he is‘taking medicine to re- duce his weight, and has thereby reduced himself some fifteen pounds since he has been here, He expresses himself, hewever, as confident of win- ning the race, and says he is desirous of making a maicn with the winner of tie Ward-Biglin race to- morrow. ~ A MOST DESPICABLE AND MEAN TRICK was played upon the Williams boys last night, the autiors of which have not yet been discovered. On going to the boat house, which is situated on the river bank, very near the starting point of the course and some distance from their boarding place, it was found that some scamp or scamps had broken into it during the night and stolen their oars, & brand-new set of English-made ones, which they had recetved only a day or two since, through Blakely, the Cambridge boatbuilder. Who stole them or where they have been carried tois @ mystery. Itis to be hoped, for, the sake of the reputation of the other cre and the numerous professionals, who are, of course, at once accused by the rabble of the act, that the perpe- trators will be found, whoever they are, and dealt with as they deserve. I am most inclined to think it was some of the ragamuilns irom Agawam Milis or Springfield who committed the outrage. Fortunately the boat was tound to be | uninjured, and if the stolen set of cars is not found another Will at once be procured and all be right Aggies—was laid uP pleurisy ; t again, This act will doubtless have the effect of causing all the crews to put a watch over their boats constantly until aiter the race. THE HARVARD TELEGRAPH PARTY have nearly completed stretching ‘heir wire the whole length of the course and this morning paid out a cable, Great Eastern jashion, across the river at the finish, from a reel in the stern of the teapot steamer gle which, 1¢ will be remembered, attempte to, follov the race last year with the referee, and succeeded ip getting up steam just as the signal gun announcing the finish of the race was heard.

The dirt came from the coal and the handling of supphes, and the con- fusion resulted from the vast amount of stuf lying abgut, The dirt will be WASHED AND SWABBED OVERBOARD, and the “stuff” will be put shipshape and lashed securely in place before the ‘Tigress gets cut of “the Sound,’ and then she will look jike a really trim little craft, About this time smoke began to curt away, gray and heavy, irom her smoke-stack, and halfan hour later a white steam ruffle was wavering about ber valve pipe. Presemtly a boat leit her, coming to the landing, It was rowed by four of the Tigress’ seamen, Captain ‘Tyson acting as coxswain, and the passengers in it were a Roman Catholic [riest, pastor of the Church of St, Charles Borro- leo, tn Brooklyn; Dr. Hayes, and Captain Chander, executive officer of the Navy Yard. As the boat Was about pushing of from the landing to return to the ship two ladies reached the head of the sieps and spoke to Captain Chandler, One of the ladies was tus wife and the other Was the wile of Com- mander Greer, Captain Chandler called to Captain jyson to “waite minute,” and Mys, Greer descend- ed the gaugway to the float, and, reaching over the wa handed Japtam Tyson as Y OF MIGNIONETTE, saying as she did so: “Picase hand this to Captain Greer, and tell him Isend it with my love and shall eApect bua to bring it back to me in October.” Aud that pretiy little message from the Com- mander’s wife to the Commander was the last verbal communication the Tigress had with the shore, Captain Tyson, the hero of the ice foe, a brave and maniy-looking little man, bowed, biusbed, smiled and ordered the boat shoved of, and M reer ascended the gangway and rejoined her friends, HALF AN HOUR LATER all the Tigress’ boats but one were swinging from their davits, and three or four men in that ono were busy at tho buoy arranging a “slip” hauser and casting off the ship's moorings. At five minutes |- past tive the Tigress drifted slowly backward from the buoy, paying out on the “slip” cable, and two or three hundred Yankee tars were swarming into the shrouds and rigging of the war ship Brooklyn, just returned trom Europe, and almost as many more were clambering up the shrouds of the receiving ship Vermont, both vessels lying within two or three hundred yards of the Tigress. A minute or two later the cable slipped from the buoy-ring and a ripple of foam and whirling water swept away ‘rom the slern of the little rescuer, Another minute and she was just perceptibly moving ahead, and the swarm of marine warriors in the mgging of the Verment sent up THREE HEARTY, RINGING CHEBRS. Then came three from the men among the ropes on the Brooklyn, seeming almost like an echo from the preceding huzyvas, and just then about twenty men of the Tigress’ litte crew sprung up into ber diminutive shrouds, and sent back a ringmg cheer that sounded brave and hearty, though not so fall and loud as the others, The cheers re-echocd and were repeated from ship to ship, and the Tigress was fuirly steamtug on ber way toward the dark and dreary region of the frigid zone on one of the most humane and, perhaps, eventiul voyages ever undertaken. As she passed the upper end of the Navy Yard a salute of ene gun was fired from the battery, and filteen minutes afterward tho search- ship Was a receding spectre in the haze that was fast settling on the river. A LADY WITH A LITTLE CHILD, both genteel and attractive looking, rose from the pier wheres they had beep seated for an hour or two watching the vessel and wulked away up the Navy Yard avenue to the gate, with a wistful and thonghtiul expression that told too plainly that some one they loved was on the gallant Utie ship that had Just sailed away. Captain Greer will put in at St. John’s to replace coal consumed and take in water, but will not re- main there more than twelve or fliteon hours, The Esquimanx, seven persons in all, went aboard yesterday. morning and appeared to be quite comfortably stowed in the deck-house amid- ships. The visit of the clergyman above referred to Was made fox the purpose of baptising, several members of the crew before their departure, which sacred ceremony was, of course, performed in the most unostentatious manner on boaad slip. If the Tigress does not return by October or No- yember next she will have te winter in the Arctic Circle and will be absent about at leasvsixteen months. THE.
